Most of my totes and work bags slip off my shoulder when I’m wearing a heavy coat, leaving me to carry my bag in the crook of my elbow. Which leads to a whole host of issues – elbow pain, back aches, and a general foul mood.

But this backpack? It stays put, from thick puffers to sleek wool coats alike.

It’s also a perfectly designed backpack. I store all my chargers in the two top zippered pockets inside. My laptop is protected in the padded sleeve, along with my can’t-live-without-notebook and this gold pen. My essentials – hand sanitizer and cream, lipstick, screen wipes, sunscreen setting spray – are all tucked inside the zippered pouch that comes with the bag, and I keep a set of workout clothes and lightweight sneakers in the shoe bag that’s provided.

Beauty

This eye cream has been a staple in my evening skincare routine for the past year. It’s also become my primary eye cream for winters.

The Vitamin E balm melts beautifully in your skin while creating a protective barrier between your delicate under-eye skin and the elements at large.

I typically wait 10-15 minutes to let it soak in before applying makeup, giving the cream ample time to absorb into the skin. My concealer and foundation no longer crease in this area, and lasts far longer than with other eye creams.

It is a little too rich to wear in the warmer months, but it’s absolutely perfect for right now.

On days when I’m too lazy to triple cleanse and I’m wearing a full face of makeup, I’ll quickly swipe a micellar water-soaked cotton round on my face and follow it up with the oat polish. It leaves my skin clean and glowing, without a trace of makeup.

WOMAN is everything I love in a scent. It’s got the masculine and feminine notes that I love and it smells incredible.

Most importantly, it doesn’t remind me of any other scent. It’s truly unique.

I’ve been spritzing this on before I run out everyday, and get complimented constantly – from friends I’m meeting with, from fellow Wing women (we’re a funny breed that way), and even once from a delivery guy.

This sanitizer/lotion combination is brilliant. I aim to wash my hands after getting to a destination (the subway…yuck), but I always don’t have time.

Actually, rarely have time.

But this cream changes all that. It looks as if I’m just applying hand cream, but I’m cleansing my hands at the same time.

Bonus – I smell great, and my hands are super soft.

A hand sanitizer is a downright necessity in the winter – period, full stop. And if this one is out of your budget, I really love this one (you can use it to spray and wipe down surfaces as well) and this clutch-friendly one.

All of them smell great, work like a charm, and help me stay healthy during this season.

I started with my underarms, and would indulge in my favorite YouTube channels and reruns on Netflix while the laser did its thing.

I haven’t shaved my underarms in 3 weeks.

I’m now working on my legs, and I’ve noticed a major reduction in growth over the past 4 weeks. While I have a ways to go to permanently remove the hair, I’m very happy with the results (and am glad that I can do touch ups or extra treatments here at home).

I also love that I have an excuse to watch garbage television . It’s hard wield a laser and hold a book at the same time.

Love this list! Quick question: it looks like the Everlane puffer linked is the Lightweight Puffer and the one in the photo is the Short Puffer (with the big pockets and hood). Which is the one you’ve used? Your description sounds perfect for me so I wanted to double check! Thanks!

I mean the short puffer (this is what I get for linking the post late at night, not that it’s an excuse). Thank you for alerting me to the error, and I can’t sing the praises of the short puffer enough – it’s a perfect coat.
